The Seller: We understand this is a difficult time for you. To be successful, your full cooperation is needed.
The Lender: Mortgage lenders of all types will be faced with a high volume of non-performing loans on equity deficient properties over the next several years. To a lender, a short sale is purely a matter of money.
The Realtor®: One of the most critical players of a Short Sale transaction. A Realtor®, after identifying and qualifying, the homeowner as a candidate for a Short Sale, is responsible for navigating through the process with commitment, patience and follow-through.
The Loss Mitigator: A process to avoid foreclosure; the lender tries to help a borrower who has been unable to make loan payments and is in danger of defaulting on a loan.
The Title Company: Escrow officers can identify and solve a wide range of issues that may come up during a Short Sale transaction.
